sorry to disappoint

dude, seriously. There just hasn't been much to share lately.
I keep working, the wife keeps working.

I guess this is the biggest current event:

Her school still hasn't actually signed the contract with their sponsor, so we aren't yet 100% sure if she will have a job next year.
They offered her her job back for next year, along with a signing bonus for being "highly qualified", but it is contingent upon the "possible sponsor" actually signing on as the sponsor.

Right now we are waying our options in the event of no more job. They seem to be as follows:
1. She works two part time jobs next year, hopefully one of which would be a teaching position, and then goes on my health insurance.
2. She finds another full-time job in a non-teaching field.
3. She goes back to school for yet another degree and way more loans.
4. She finds another full-time teaching job.

She has applied for two other jobs just to be safe, but doesn't want her current employer to get mad about this (which complicates things,because she can't very well list the current employer as a contact, but new employers prefer to talk to the current employer when you have only had one full-time job so far). Ideally, she would like to keep working with her students, as she has a great bond with them. So we are stuck in this uncertain state for the time being. Fun fun.
